Real Betis Balompié unveils 24-player squad for Dublin trip
Real Betis Balompié has announced a 24-player squad for its trip to Dublin, where they will face Arsenal in the sixth preseason match of 26-27. The main highlight is the return of Cucho Hernández, who rejoins the team after his post-World Cup break with Colombia. The forward is part of the traveling party alongside players like Valles, Manu González, Yan, Bellerín and Isco.
Who won’t be traveling to Ireland?
Manager Manuel Pellegrini has opted to leave several players in Seville, including Gonzalo Petit and Iker Losada, as well as youth players Emmanuel N'Goran and Iván Corralejo. Additionally, injured players Abde, Aitor and Diego Conde will continue their recovery at the Luis del Sol sports complex.
Why are they not in Pellegrini’s plans?
According to club sources, the decision to exclude Petit and Losada is due to their lack of inclusion in the Chilean manager’s plans for the season. Meanwhile, the Uruguayan forward and Galician midfielder will remain in Seville to continue training, though their future at the club appears uncertain.
What’s next after the Arsenal match?
The Betis delegation will return on Thursday following the Arsenal game, and on Saturday, they will host Bournemouth at the Cartuja for the seventh and penultimate preseason fixture.
